Accessary of the Roscoe Train Robbery In the Hands of a Detective fn Phoenix. A Companion of the Notorious Kid Thompson. The Kid Is Somewhere Near Phce-nlx The Other Robber Quietly Jailed at Los Anareles. By the Associated Press. - The Roscoe, Cal., train robbers seem to be meeting with greater difficulty in getting themselves into. custody than they encountered in robbing the train. Southern Pacific Detective Breeken-ridge left with one of them yesterday afternoon for Los Angeles, but the train was unable to go beyond Kyrene and he returned with his man. His name is E'zler and he is little more than a boy. The story of his adventures in Arizona is picked up from many sources, gathered from many detectives and told in part by Etzler himself.. Except for certain corroborative evidence which hereinafter appears there would be good reason to doubt if any of it is true. The details of the Roscoe train robbery la..t March" are yet familiar to most persons on the coast and particularly familiar to the .Southern Pacific detectives, who have ever since been looking for clues. i Etzler, the man who is now with Detective Brectcenridge, claims to be able to point out not only the. robbers, but the buried treasure. He came to this part of the country three weeks ago with Kid Thompson, a youth who had served a term at Yuma for horse stealing.Etzler and Thompson established a camp about half way between Phoenix and Tempe iim'-v rotwiihstanding Thompson's criminal record, did not attract the special attention of local officers until after the Maricopa robbery. While the de-j tectives were .trying to fill the quota of five or six robbers they naturally thought of Thompson, who had been associating with Rogers, Armer j and Donovan. It was later pretty well established that Thompson was not at Maricopa, but in the meantime the fact that he was one of the Roscoe-robbers had begun to develop. He approached Marshal Molloy one night and wanted to give himself up as one of the Roscoe robbei8. The marshal naturally took no stock in the confession, but thought the Kid only wanted to gain a little cheap notoriety. Last Sunday Deputy Uniifd States Marshal Slank-ard began an investigation and visited the Kid's camp. He was not at home and the officer left word with a man who lived near for the Kid to call on him at the court house. He never called, but that night rode off in an opposite direction. The circumstances which go to show that the Kid was, as he and Etzler claim, one of the Roscoe robbers are as follows : A week ago last Wednesday a package addressed to a man named Parker was received by express at Tempe. 4 he package was tsken up by Thompson, and it is learned "that it contained Mexican dollars, which, by the way, constituted the bulk of the plunder of the train robbers-. Thompson afterward turned the contents of the package over to two Phoenix Chinaman and received American money in exchange. Since then Thompson has been very much in demand, but his old wish to surrender himself seems to have been dieeipated. The officers having satisfied themselves that the Kid was not about the city, and he had broken camp, Officer Slankard and Detective Will Smith set out last Monday morning for McDowell where he was supposed to have gone. Officer Slankard returned on Wednesday, but the detective having got trace of him kept on in the direction of Florence, and at one time was within three hours of him. The trace was eventually lost, or, at any rate, the detective claims that he does not know where he is. Etzler in the meantime had not escaped notice. Capt. Hy McDonald and Southern Pacific Detective McCIarty, were cultivating his acquaintance and very lately induced him to tell his story. He said that he had not taken part in the train robbery at Roscoe but got acquainted with the robbers afterward and consorted with them. He was a long time making up his mind about what he would do. He thought sometimes of being a tram robber himself. At other times he thought he would enter into a conspiracy with his new friends to rob another train and give the thing away to the officials. He also had a notion to surrender his friends for the Roscoe affair and get a part of the reward that had been offered for them. In his undivided frame of mind he had dons nothing. He claimed to know where the Roscoe treasure was hidden and he said that there were also persons in Los Angeles who knew where it was. While McCIarty and McDonald were learning this, officer Slankard was also after him, and either set of officers was liable to take charge of him last Thursday. But McCIarty and McDonald brought him in from the camp and turned him over, with all the information which they had been able to gather, to Detective Brecken-ridge, who etarted with him for Log Angeles the same night, hoping to reach there unannounced, that Thompson's Los Angeles pals might not have time to change the hiding Dlace of the treasure. On account of the washout the detective and Etzler returned to Phoenix. They started again yesterday afternoon, but were again turned back. Etzler goes willingly and says he has nothing to fear as he was only an accessory after the fact and he intends to purge himself of even that offense by turning state's evidence. A part of Etzler's confession to Detective McCIarty made three days ago was that Thompson's partner in the robbery was a Los Angeles man named Johnson. The detective telegraphed for Johnson's arrest and he is now in jail. So far as Etzler knows no one but himself, Thompson and Johnson knows where the rest of the buried treasure is. Johnson will not be allowed to communicate with anyone from the Los Angeles jail but the officers here fear that Thompson may notify friends at Los Angeles and have it removed before Etzler can reach there. Thompson is a born desperado. Hs is now only about twenty-two years old and has been raised in the valley. The offense for which he was sent to Yuma was the theft of a couple of horses ., from the Buckeye country. Judge Kibbey sentenced him, and in doing eo expressed regret on accoqnt of the prisoner's age and apparent want of intellect. Etzler says that soon after the Maricopa robbery Thompson proposed the robbery of a ; train at the same place and argued that it would be safe because it would be unexpected. Etzler agreed to it, but on the night set for the commission of the crime he 'Stikened and determined for good not td be a train robber. He says that talking and thinking about holding up a train is fascinating; the night air, though, and the thought of the possible outcome is chilling, discouraging and horrifying. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. The Grand Lodge of Missouri Meets. ' A Representative to the Supreme Lodge of the World Chosen Hannibal the Next Meeting Place. By the Associated Press. Excelsior Springs, Mo., Oct. 19. The Knights of Pythias grand lodge ot Missouri today selected Judge Hawthorne, past grand chancellor, for supreme representative of the supreme representative of the supreme lodge of the world. Hannibal, Mo., was chosen as next place of meeting. A WRONG RIGHTED. Release of DeWitt C. Whittakerfrom the Penitentiary. Governor Hughes yesterday issued two pardons to prisoners confined at at Yuma. One was to King Ussery sent up in November, 1892, from Pinal county seven years ago for burglary. The original appeal was made by his mother who depended upon him for support. Evidence had been secured which threw great doubt upon his guilt and the application was signed by the pre siding judge, prosecuting attorney and his assistant and most of the trial jurors and was recommended by the board of prison commissioners. The other pardon was that of DeWitt C. Whittaker Bent up for seven years from Yavapai county in June of last year for manslaughter. There is quite a history in this case, an important part of which was not considered at his trial. Whittaker's victim was a man named Brice who it is shown had been criminally intimate with the convict's wife. Something more than four years aeo Whittaker and Brice with theirfami-lies were on their way from Prescott to Phoenix. One night Whittaker saw Brice entering the wag8n in which his wife was sleeping. As Whittaker approached him Brice turned and attacked the injured husband with a knife. Whittaker fled a short distance and picking up a shovel struck his pursuer and despoiler of hie home a blow from which he afterward died. Whittaker never lived with hi9 wife after that night but went away to Wyoming where he remained four years. After Brice'B death his widow swore out a warrant against Whittaker and he was returned to Arizona on a requisition, tried and convicted. The Worden Case. Woodland, Cal., Oct. 19.
